RAM upgrade for Gateway model MFATXNIN NMZ 300L?

To save me a 30 mile trip just to open up the machine and look, does anyone know what type of RAM this machine requires (PC133, PC2100, etc), as well as the maximum amount of RAM that can be installed?

I can't seem to find any memory-related info on this model anywhere. Any help or info will be much appreciated.

Just to clarify: so as far as you know, this machine will take up to 2x512MB, but you're saying it *may* require a BIOS update in order to do so?

Then I guess my next challenge is to find the BIOS update on Gateway's labyrinthine Web site. I can't find any downloads for that machine by model number, but I suppose I can search by serial number instead.

thanks again,JohnB

thanks for the info, leecom.

Hi,The system takes PC133 SDRAM, as far as i know without performing a BIOS flash it can take up to 1GB (2x512MB) most of these PC's are restricted to 2x256 so a BIOS flash could be imminent in this case.

www.kingston.com has info on that model but there are 4 series to choose and they all take different memory. Your model type is 300L but you will also need to know the cpu type. If you can get your customer to give you the serial number, then you can go to www.gateway.com and get detailed info on the exact machine.

In 2007, Gateway sold all the parts & support for your client's computer to MPC Corporation.
Then, in 2008, MPC Corporation declared bankruptcy. So, read the above web-page for details

There's a security screw on the back that needs to be removed to allow the front latch to release the side panel. It's the stupidest most confusing case ever. The latch is very hard to see, it's part of the black plastic in the front, just push down on things until you see one move a bit. It's sort of like a car door handle movement.
